At 5:29:45 am on July 16th, 2005, a simulation of the first atomic nuclear explosion was undertaken somewhere in the Nevada desert. The simulation was a 1/10,000 scale of the Trinity nuclear test detonated exactly 60 years ago, using some 400 gallons of biodiesel. The simulation is meant as a somber reminder of the destructive power of nuclear weapons. www.simnuke.org

Although that was pretty cool, comparing it, or even relating it in any way, to a nuclear explosion just makes it sound VERY lame (because it was SOOOOO unlike a nuclear explosion).

I would have given this a decent rating if it wasn't called "Nuke Simulation" or something like that. With that criteria, any ole explosion could be considered a "nuke simulation".

Weak.
